+If you're the type that obsesses over Google's [Webmaster Tools][1], you'll love Joost de Valk's [GreaseMonkey][3] [script that adds pagerank and anchor text][2] info to your link of inbound links.
+
+The script uses an XML HTTP request to grab the pagerank of the inbound links and adds it in front of each link (screenshots after the jump).
+
+The resulting text is color coded. If the link is found the pagerank and anchor text is displayed in black. If the link has rel="nofollow" on it (Wikipedia linking to your site?) the info is made orange and wrapped in strike-through tags. If the link is not found the info text is displayed in red, and the text "Link not found" is added. And finally if the link is an image link, the alt text is added.
+
+It's not earth shattering but it does make Google Webmaster Tools a bit more informative.
+
+There is also a version available that omits the pagerank info but still shows the anchor text and nofollow info.
+
+To use Google Webmaster Tools External links, you'll need to have Firefox with the [Greasemonkey extension][3] installed.

+
+* The media giants are making good on their promise to deliver a YouTube knock-off. The LATimes [reports][1] that News Corp. and NBC plan to announce a new video service today that sounds pretty much like YouTube -- pro production shows plus clips that users can remix and share with friends. Expect this to be in the news again inside of year when it collapses from lack of interest.

+
+* The KDE developers have [released a timeline/roadmap for KDE 4.0][2]. The first betas will be available toward the end of June with the final release scheduled for October 23. KDE 4 will feature, among other things, improved speed through Qt 4, integration of hardware through [Solid][3], and completely new artwork experience called [Oxygen][4].

+
+* Google's Picasa web photo service has [added a data API][5]. The Picasa Web Albums data API is part of the GData family so if you're family with other GData APIs you should be able to use the [Picasa API][6] with no trouble. The API isn't quite as robust as the [Flickr API][7], but it's a step in the right direction.

+
+* Zoho has [launched][10] a new feature, [Zoho Meeting][8], currently in private beta, that lets users conduct meetings online. Most of the key features come from [WebEx][9] including the ability to control remote desktops, chat, email the host, and view meeting details. The new service is cross platform and utilizes ActiveX on Windows, and Java and Flash on Mac and Linux.

+As I mentioned in the [Morning Reboot][4], Zoho has [launched a new web conferencing feature][1] dubbed [Zoho Meeting][2]. For now Zoho Meeting is a private beta available to select users -- to apply for the beta trial login to Zoho and request access. The final release of Zoho Meeting is slated for April.
+
+For the initial beta phase meetings must be initialized by a Windows machine (via an ActiveX controller), though meeting participants can be on any platform that supports Java or Flash.
+
+As with other web conferencing applications, like [WebEx][3], Zoho Meeting allows for schedule meetings, shared desktop, integrated chat through Zoho Chat and more. Meeting attendees can request remote control of the host's desktop and with Zoho Chat's forthcoming VOIP capabilities Zoho meeting looks to be a nice all-in-one conferencing app.
+
+While the meeting initiator needs download the ActiveX controller, one of the really nice things about Zoho Meeting is that attendees do not need to install anything to join a meeting. When you receive an invite to a meeting you're given a choice between downloading the ActiveX component (Windows) or simply using the Java or Flash options which leverage the software already installed on your machine.
+
+The Flash element of Zoho Meeting is where things get interesting and move a bit beyond what most of Zoho's competitors offer. Meetings can be recorded and saved as slides in Zoho Show and, even better, if you choose to record your desktop presentation, the file is then available as a download. That also means that meetings can be embedded and displayed just about anywhere.
+
+And the integration with Zoho Show works both ways. When creating a new presentation in Show, if you add a meeting slide (which embeds the Meeting Flash object) a meeting is automatically created for you. The Meeting-Show integration should be a boon for those wanting to remotely demo things for a large crowd of observers.
+
+Zoho claims that by the time Meeting is released to the public in April there will be integration with even more Zoho apps, though thus far they haven't given any details.
+
+Some of the highlights of Zoho Meeting can be seen in the demo video embedded below.
